  • amazing upload! I always liked your Scelsi uploads. His orchestral/ensemble music seem to be some of the most prophetic pieces ever written. Thank you always for your great uploads!

  • Franco Sciannameo, a violinist who collaborated with Scelsi, wrote in a paper on "Musical Times" that this piece was transcribed by the composer Vieri Tosatti from an improvisation by Scelsi. Scelsi used to record harmonic and melodic sequences with a small electronic device. Some of his works for strings (including Anagamin) were "processed" by Tosatti and other people starting from the material recorded by the Maestro.

  • This is eerie! I can imagine this being used in a horror movie!

  • @PADSEnsemble Ok, I am sorry for the misunderstanding. I have just done a Work about Scelsi so I have just jump. Sorry.

  • @cegede11 -- Well, this is exactly what we wrote. Tosatti transcribed Scelsi's improvisations.

    The only thing that we didn't mention (and that's highly presumable and plausible) is that Scelsi in person rearranged and worked on the transcribed material in order to "create" the piece. We don't want to fan the flames of such a complicated controversy concerning people claiming their rights on Scelsi's work and taking advantage of him. Cela va sans dire, we love this incredible piece.

  • @PADSEnsemble That's not true. Tosatti wrote the improvisations and Scelsi worked with this transcriptions creating the music. Tosatti wanted to get advantage from a death men.

  • @carsinjars LOL! So did mine, also Holst: The Planets, he would play that and tell us these terrible stories about aliens etc...... we were like ten years old lol, scared to death! TURN THE LIGHTS ON!

  • Music from the movie Alterd States. Is simular.

    

  • This music very professionally wrote. I think about those years 1965. It modern also!

  • my Dad used to scare the crap out of me playing Penderecki as a small child. It still pretty scary, but I love this Scelsi peice. Thanks for a great clip too. :) :)
